I was able to do this all with materials I already have! I had the large clear vase - spray painted it white, used spray adhesive to apply Epsom salt "snow"

The tray I purchased last year as a clearance item after Christmas - it was a beautiful red (and I loved it), but I decided for this look, it would be better in black. A little black spray paint and wah-lah!

Add a few candles, ornaments and spray's in the vase! I love it - What do you think?

Next project - this didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it. I may have to make a few alterations, but here is what I have so far....

Ok - first of all I absolutely love the tile they have around their fireplace!

When I went to Hobby Lobby to purchase letters, they were out of the letters I needed in the block style, so because I am impatient and wanted to start this right away, I purchased the curly letters. I wasn't too sure about them, but I think they work, especially with a fireplace that hangs 6 stockings! I painted the letters burgundy to match our jeweled toned stockings (which I hope to replace someday - but not this year).

The ribbons actually match the small print in the fabric (you can't see that in the picture). I think I need to iron them and reposition my "y".

Once I figure out how to fix a few of my issues, I will post new pictures.

About Me

My crazy life, attempting to glorify my Savior in all I do, as I try to balance a full time job, four children, and my home.
{I love: Jesus and spending time with Him, time with my family, decorating, Saturday's with nothing to do}
{I despise: Cooking and Cleaning!}
{I struggle with: my weight, self image, keeping my house clean and becoming the wife and mother I know God wants me to be.}
